funnybookin'

My drawing for this year's Heroes Con art auction: Kamandi!

Fresh commission, done for Ethan Breedlove over at Ancillary Characters .  It's sort of a re-creation of JH Williams III's Superman 636 cover, by way of Joe Shuster.

So, not funnybook at all, but back in the day this is what me and my bros David Poole, Jac Cain, and Chuck Ross did.  This was recently digitized by our old sound guy, and it's got somebody else's tune as an intermission- I need to do some editing!  But in the meantime, you can edit it yourself after you right-click and download it here:  https://s3.amazonaws.com/migol/Slurpeeee+on+WKNC.mp3 Update, 4/27/13 More unearthed Slurpeeeee!, this time from June '89 at The Brewery in Raleigh NC:  https://s3.amazonaws.com/migol/Slurpeeeee+NC+Music+Showcase+6-1-89.mp3

It's nuts to me how little there is on the interwebs about folks that are 15-20 years gone.  My aunt Jean (technically great aunt, never called her that, though) was with the Washington Star in one capacity or another from the sixties until its doors closed in 1981.  She is unknown to Google, and in this, the week of her 85th birthday, I'm changing that, with a pic of Jean taken by Star staff photographer Ray Lustig in 1968.  She's been dead just over 20 years now, but here she is, on the internet, forever: Jean would take me up the east coast to comic conventions (New York!  Philly!  New York!), she was a total funnybook enabler.  She lived in an apartment building with a 7-11 a flight of stairs away.  A 7-11 with a spinner rack.  Not 20 footsteps from her front door.  I could buy comics IN MY JAMMIES.  Good times, great aunt.

I was asked if I'd ever drawn an Adam West Batman, said "no", and went about fixing that: Loads of drawings later:  Batman '66 #9 And here are the originals for chapters 9 & 12, for sale.

Parker discusses POSSIBILITIES .

This week the Will Eisner Awards judges selected Mort Meskin for automatic induction into the Eisner Hall of Fame.  A handful of folks have worked to keep Mort's work from vanishing into the past, chief among them Jerry Robinson, Dylan Williams, Steven Brower and Ger Apeldoorn (who almost single-handedly filled the internet with Meskin content), nice that it's paid off.  Also, mad props go to Fantagraphics for publishing Steven's terrific Meskin books.  Go buy them , and then let's lobby the hell out of DC to print Vigilante and Johnny Quick collections.  It's the year of Mort!
